atleast its *not* Bat Country.. hehe. Hopefully that one will stay on the "unconfirmed side"

edit: For more whistle wetting unconfirmed rumor goodness

-A song by Aerosmith. According to Tommy Tallarico in a post on an IGN board "Harmonix (& Guitar Hero) ROCKS!! I helped Harmonix & RedOctane to get some of my relatives music for GH II (you may know who I'm talking about)." According to Wikipedia Steven Tyler is Tommy Tallarico's cousin.

-A song by The Toadies. The Toadies "Possum Kingdom" was supposed to be in the original Guitar Hero but was bumped last second for "Cowboys From Hell". We can expect RedOctane to make up for this by putting "Possum Kingdom" or another song by The Toadies in Guitar Hero 2.

-A song by Voivod. The bands drummer issued the following statement in an update "In other news we were asked by the makers of the Guitar Hero Game if we would let them use a song for GH2, so after some thought we could see no wrong in having two million kids learn Piggy's riff on a Playstation!"

-"Killing In The Name Of" By Rage Against The Machine. In the latest Official Playstation Magazine (Sept 06) on page 26 it talks about Raul Renteria, a QA tester who is very good at the game. "To prove this, Renteria played Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing in the Name' on Expert with his back to the screen, racking up a near perfect score."

-"The New Black" By Every Time I Die. During their performance at the Vans Warped tour Keith Buckley, vocalist for the band, stated that their song "The New Black" would be featured in Guitar Hero 2.

-A song by DragonForce. When a band is documented playing Guitar Hero, speculation is bound to arise. Much like Danny Carey from Tool, and The Darkness, the two guitarists for power metal band "Dragonforce" were spotted playing Guitar Hero. DragonForce is a much requested band for Guitar Hero II, and one must conclude that the thought enters the band's minds that they could possibly appear in a sequel to the game that they are playing.

-A song by Tenacious D. "An official list of new music tracks hasn't been released yet, but PSM was told that we shouldn't be surprised to see some Tenacious D in the game."

-A song by Buckethead. Last year, Marcus Henderon said the following quote: "Without going too much into detail, i'll just say this. Buckethead is very much in our plans for GH2. How? who knows... Where? you'll find out... Why? Cuz he's Buckethead. period."

-A song by Descendents. Marcus Henderson, who recorded songs in both games is also on the song choice committee for Guitar Hero II, he stated in an interview that he has "been in dialogue with Bill Stevenson, their legendary drummer, and I totally want to get them in the game". So we will see what comes out of that. Descendants are an influential early Punk Rock band.

-A song by Tool - MTV.com stated that Tool are "in talks to be featured in the forthcoming "Guitar Hero 2" video game".

-"Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden
Marcus Henderson said the following line, though, it's worded largely rhetorical: "I LOVE MAIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite bands ever. How would you guys feel about Wasted Years in GH2?"

-"For Those About To Rock" by AC/DC - RedOctane issued a press release for Guitar Hero II, and the title of the release is "For Those About to Rock With Guitar Hero II, We Salute You! RedOctane Announces Fall US Tour Date" Of course, the first sentence of the title are lyrics and the name of a song by AC/DC. The song has not been confirmed, but it seems odd to make such a possible hint if it was unfounded.

The frets are a little different (floating, not recessed) and take a little bit to get used to, but otherwise it's like 900% better.

Also, the strum bar doesn't sound like a fucking clacker when you hit 1/8th and 1/6th notes. And the range on it is like a thousand feet. I can play standing in the laundry room. From across the living room, dining room and kitchen.

Hangar 18 really only has 2 lead solo's and one bass solo. The only way they could get the solo count up is if they count the 3 second guitar bridges. So it is possible I guess. (Technically I guess there is 4 extra solos, but it's really just one solo broken up by a drum bridge at different points about 4 seconds each- all of which are identical.) I love that song though.

There is Boston's "Walk On (Medley)" which has exactly 11 Solo runs (Part II is just one long solo period), but that song would be a major bitch to play since the solos are of different types at various places. A Lead, rhythm, and bass sections. So I doubt it. (It's also 12 minutes long...)

There is also Metallica's "Call of Cuthulu" and "Orion".

Part of me thinks that if Metallica was an option for GH2 they would have been revealed already. The band would create incredible hype and be quite the meal-ticket for RedOctane - Not that they need one anymore. That same part of me thinks they might be holding out for the own Guitar Hero title, featuring themselves and no one else.

Another part of me believes they're just being gigantic, arrogant cockfags and refusing to give the rights out to a video game.
